Good bang for the buck

This saw is great for the price! I had bought a table saw from ************** and it was garbage( as, apparently, all HF power tools are). This was nicely designed w/ it's own stand. I read reviews on this saw before I bought, and it always kills me that people buy an entry level power tool and expect it to perform like a precision surgical instrument under comercial industrial use. I bent one of the stand rails when I put my foot on it, it's not sturdy enough for that, but I love that it at least comes w/ a stand and the accessories are easy to use and remove. I recently bought a cheap set of dado blades and the saw performed great as long as I didn't try to cut more than 1/3 " at a time. I like that the blade guards form a thin rectangle that can be used to line up the cut. If you're a professional or a master craftsman, you will probably need a lot more saw, but if you are a weekend warrior like me, this will probably do the job.

Very Poor Quality

I bought this after seeing the decent reviews left by others. Once it finally arrived at the local store, I took it home and assembled it. I was dissappointed before I even used it. The table top is not cast aluminum; it's thin sheet metal with flemsy support grids welded under it. The table top was also not very flat and had a sag to it on the right side. After using it to rip 12 2x4's, the blade was missing 4 of its carbide teeth. The miter guage is very loose in the grooves and would be useless if precise cuts are desired. The power seemed OK.

I bought this saw in July, I figured it was craftsman and it had to be a good tool, and for the price I thought cool I can do my little home projects with this.
I have never been so wrong I bought the warranty that sears offers just to be safe, and I still haven't used the saw because the little power supply switch keeps breakin it's a cheap toggle switch and sears gives you a hard time when trying to replace it I recommend going another route, less headaches!

Works well. Enough power for small jobs. I had to disassemble and then reassemble the stand because the instructions were unclear. Luckily, I found a video that explained how to install the rake and safety guard. Now that I have used the saw, I would purchase table extensions to make it easier to handle the items I'm cutting. However, I cannot find any available from Sears. I'll need to build my own if I am to use the saw to finish my basement (which is why I purchased it). Overall, I think it is worth what I paid for it. So I have rated it accordingly.

I would strongly advise everyone to stay away from this power tool. It's poorly made and lacks any semblance of quality. The motor while being a 15 amp isn't worth the money. Simply go to the parts catalog part of this website and see if you can even find a replacement for it. The diagram shows the item to be number 80, but the parts list stops at 78 and then goes to the frame. Simply put, don't buy it. I am the only person that has ever used mine and I can tell you that it has been taken care of and not abused, but now I'm purchasing a new saw and as you can imagine, it certainly won't be a Craftsman...nor will any other of my power tools for that point.

For a table saw that cost me $140, this was a great purchase. If it was a $250 saw, I would give it less stars, but the price made it right.
If you want a *perfect* piece of equipment, this is not for you. The miter gauge is definitely useless, but this is why you build yourself a miter sled -- they are infinitely more accurate no matter what miter gauge you employ, because all miter gauges have a tiny contact surface with your work piece.
The fence, in my case, was out of alignment when I received it, but the adjustments were very easy. The measuring tape on the front rail is slightly off -- around 1/16", but that is easy to account for. I personally removed the blade guard and anti-kickback prawl because, for the guard, I like to see the cut as it is being made and blade guards make this impossible (which is not something unique to this unit), and for the prawl, because I take every safety precaution necessary to not get any kickback that I can't handle effectively.
Build yourself a miter sled, a cross cut sled, and you are set for almost anything you need to do. If you need to make very accurate bevel rips, I would suggest getting yourself a digital bevel gauge to really get an accurate tilt on the blade. I don't really trust the provided gauge on the face of the unit, although I have yet to really test it on anything but a pencil cup/bed that I made, which turned out quite well for rough estimating an 11.25 degree bevel.
